I've been thinkin about this what if despags are just acting like they are interested in bradford just to get someone to trade up like say the redskins. Which I think the lions would draft a offensive lineman to protect their investment in qb. So that would leave us with suh or mccoy whoever the bucs didn't get. Just sounds like something they would do seeing as they are saying they would move down in the draft.

Re: ive been thinking
Perhaps. It's all hearsay at this point in time. I wouldn't pull the trigger. Bradford, Suh and McCoy are the big three in this draft and it stands to reason that they will be selected 1st, 2nd and 3rd overall. I wouldn't want to trade down and be forced to deal with sloppy seconds.
The Redskins probably need an OT more than they do a Quarterback anyway and I personally don't think Detroit will pass on Suh in consideration of their own needs along the DL. I definitely think it's something DeSpags would have considered, but the bottom line is that unless there is a huge difference in Tampa's critique of Suh and McCoy, to the point where they need to jump Detroit to ensure they get ahold of the player they want, I don't think we'll be seeing a trade in the top three. -

You're probably going to have to do a little better than that in order to convince the FO not to draft him at this point!Originally posted by sjacksonrules View Post

Re: ive been thinking
what if washington traded jason campbell to the Rams for a swap of 1st round picks? then if mccoy or suh were on the board they would obviously be snatched up. if not, eric berry could be draftedComment

Re: ive been thinking
I'm the same way. I live in Missouri and watch a lot of Big XII football games. When I watch Oklahoma, I feel like any QB could succeed on that offense. His receivers are always wide open that you would have to try to mess up to actually mess up. I want to see him throw to a receiver who is at least partially being covered or something.Originally posted by sjacksonrules View PostComment

Re: ive been thinking
It makes me wonder how Oklahoma is top ranked when Bradford is at the helm, but when he goes down they go unranked at the end of the season...Originally posted by msha View Post
Could it be that Bradford had a bigger impact than you think? There is a reason guys who devote themselves to studying players, in particular quarterbacks, love Bradford.Comment

Re: ive been thinking
Bradford is amazing. I feel like the only reason people are ripping him apart, is because of Suh.Comment

Re: ive been thinking
QB play was not the problem for OU this year. Landry Jones put up an average of 262 yards per game, reaching 418 yards in a game against Stanford. He had a 1.86 TD/Int ratio, which is not great, but remember, he is their 2nd string QB. Against better competition, such as Texas, Nebraska, and Miami, he did not play as well. The Sooners had 5 losses last year, all of them were close besides Texas Tech. Four losses were by a combined 12 points. To be honest, Bradford could have won the close games. When I said any QB could succeed on that offense, I was thinking most starting QB on other teams. Also, Bradford wasn't playing great this year before he got hurt, the completion percentage was down, maybe because he didn't have the good receivers he had in the past.Originally posted by Bralidore(RAMMODE) View PostComment

Re: ive been thinking
Because the preseason poll consists of "duplicate last season's final poll with one or two minor differences" and once the season starts, you only drop in the rankings if you lose. If you have a weak schedule, it could be awhile before a drop happens.Originally posted by Bralidore(RAMMODE) View PostComment

I was just thinking with the upgrades Detroit have done on their D-line so fare is Detroit still in for McCoy or Suh? They really need a OT to protect their QB this year.
Should we risk it and swap picks with Redskins? They get Bradford with the nr 1 and we get Suh or McCoy (I think Bucs will take Suh) with the nr 4 pick? and some extra picks for us?-03-07-2010, 04:26 AM -
If the Rams truly do covet a QB, such as Sam Bradford, they may consider a trade down with a team like Tampa Bay to pick up extra picks and still get their guy in the process.
However, its known that teams like Washington (at #4) and Seattle (at #6) could also be in the market for a QB.
If one of these teams wants a particular QB, they may wish to move up the draft to grab him.
So if the Rams do trade down with Tampa before the first pick is made, a team like Washington could easily switch with Detroit and steal the QB the Rams are after. That would leave the Rams in quandary as they would presumably then take someone like Gerald McCoy. Who while still a good DT, wasnt one of the guys they wanted.
To prevent this, i believe that if the Rams do want to trade down for a QB, they will do a rights switch after the players have been drafted. The Rams will take Suh at No.1. If Tampa is then in a postion to draft Bradford, they will take him. Only then will the trade take place.
If the Rams cant work out a trade, they simply stay at #1 and take Suh. Either way, they either get the guy thats supposed to be the best player in the draft, or the QB that the team wants. But they wont leave themself open to missing the guy they are after.-02-24-2010, 02:49 AM -
Say for arguments sake the rams like G.McCoy ahead of Suh there isnt apparantly alot between them as both are nfl ready dt's (for the record i think suh is better and yes I have seen his stats and understand that argumeny)
The rams convince Tampa that they want suh and get trade down with tampa to 3rd and pick up a 2nd and 4th round for arguments sake.
The rams also convince washington that we want bradford, (as we sit ahead of washington they have to trade up to 2nd to get him) meaning they trade with detroit to get in and steal him from us as it were.
However we sit pretty at 3rd having traded down and land G.McCoy and have an extra draft picks in the later rounds. I READ this elsewhere and paraphrasing it, to see what people would think. Also this move works if we want clausen as well.-02-16-2010, 09:58 AM -
I can't be the only one that gets annoyed by all these so called draft "experts" that change there mind like r8rh8rmike changes his underwear...about once a week.
I'm going to use SI's main mock "expert" as an example. Not becuase he's the best, but because his past mocks are easy to find. H3e's just an example of what annoys me.
Don Banks 2010 NFL Mock Drafts thusfar:
Suh is a rock solid concensus as the surest thing. Sounds great, right?
So roughly a month later, the day before the DT's do anything at the combine, the rock solid concensus is now split 50/50 and McCoy is our choice. Um ok. Nothing changed so why did his opinion?
So because of one quote from Devaney, who is only making picks to save his job, we're now taking a QB in Stafford. Yeah ok, whatever you say Donny boy.
Again implying they'll pick to stay employed rather than to make the pick that helps the team the most, while also covering his backside in case they don't pick Bradford. Pretty typical "expert" BS.
Bradford had a good pro day so now it's a sure thing. OK now at this point I can see someone switching to Bradford as a possibility, but before no way. It just makes no sense. But even still what happened to Suh the "rock solid concensus as the surest thing.?"
WOW. We sure did a 180 in two and a half months didn't we. First Suh is the "rock solid concensus as the surest thing" and now to take anyone but Bradford is "the kind of stunning turn of events we haven't seen in years."
This is just one example of what annoys me about these "experts." McShay has flopped from Suh to Bradford also, while Kiper has flipped from Suh being "the most dominating defensive tackle I've seen in 32 years of doing this." to Clausen. It seems like they build up and exaggerate the plus side of whoever they want. For the longest time all we heard was Suh is a lock to go #1 to the Rams, and now it's a QB. Yes I know Blger is now gone, but these guys flopped to QBs while he was still here. Is it anything more than hype and these draft guys feeding off of each other that made Suh go from the guaranteed pick to now being the #2 DT behind McCoy in many people's eyes? I just don't get it. These guys annoy the crap out of me....-04-17-2010, 09:26 PM -
Bear with me here cause I just like making up trade scenarios. Does anyone know if the Bucs are really favoring one of these monster DT and would be willing to jump ahead of the Lions to get either Suh or McCoy. If they are obsessed with one of these two would they be willing to jump to the 1st pick and get the DT they want and give us an extra pick?
This would be amazing because we would probably still end up with Bradford but at a cheaper price. Also if someone were to trade up to the 2 spot to get him the other DT would still be there for us. Not a bad scenario just want some imput on if the Bucs are really interested in either in particular.-04-20-2010, 03:24 PM
